The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chapter 182: Chapter 0182: Are You a Bodyguard?

"Mr. Chu, please be careful with your words!" Ouyang Kangshi was the first to shout out, anxiously looking at Chu Ge.

Although Chu Ge did indeed exhibit an amazing skill at the banquet that night, which astonished everyone, it could at most only prove that his medical skills were indeed divine. The invitation from the Duan Family this time seemed extremely odd, and if Mr. Ouyang really went, he would need a powerful bodyguard capable of taking on a hundred foes, not just a doctor skilled in Divine Medical Techniques.

Mr. Ouyang didn’t speak; he just looked at Chu Ge with a smile on his face.

Chu Ge nodded slightly towards him, then said to Ouyang Kangshi: "Family Head Ouyang, rest assured, with me here, even if there are Innate Grandmasters among them, I can ensure Mr. Ouyang remains unharmed!"

However, this time, before Ouyang Kangshi could say anything, Wang Lijun coldly snorted first: "Hmph, a young fool who doesn’t know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, boasting about himself!"

This remark left no room for face, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly quieted down, everyone’s gaze turning towards Wang Lijun.

Under the gaze of so many, Wang Lijun showed no signs of panic, instead looking at Chu Ge with a cold smile: "Boy, do you know the difference between an Innate Grandmaster and a Postnatal Martial Artist?"

Chu Ge looked at him and remained silent.

It was Mr. Sima who carefully said, "I have long heard Master Wang mention the existence of Innate Grandmasters, and I suppose it must be an extraordinary realm. I guess even Master Wang might find himself outmatched when facing someone of the Innate Realm?"

"Outmatched?" Wang Lijun scoffed, "I’d exhaust all my strength, and yet, wouldn’t last three moves under an Innate Grandmaster!"

"What!"

When these words came out, everyone was shocked. Mr. Ouyang was still better off, but Sima Ruyun and his father were utterly dumbstruck with disbelief staring at Wang Lijun.

They didn’t know what exactly made an Innate Grandmaster so fearsome, yet they were somewhat aware of how capable the man in front of them was.

The bodyguards beside Mr. Sima were all elites from a security company, including several retired veterans. Armed with sophisticated weapons, they constituted a formidable combat force!

And yet, such a force, dozens in number, was subdued by Wang Lijun in less than ten minutes.

While Mr. Sima was astounded by such martial prowess, how could such a formidable figure not withstand three moves against an Innate Grandmaster?

"Are Innate Grandmasters really that formidable?" Mr. Sima gasped in disbelief, whispering.

"No exaggeration in my words," Wang Lijun’s face flashed with a longing expression: "Let alone modern times with the scarcity of Spiritual Energy, even in ancient times, an era abundant with warriors, an Innate Grandmaster would still be considered a Dragon among men, qualified to establish sects!"

"Do you understand now?" Wang Lijun turned his gaze back to Chu Ge, "Hmph, even I couldn’t escape from an Innate Grandmaster, let alone you, a youngster who barely knows better, daring to claim you could protect Mr. Ouyang even if an Innate Grandmaster were present. You’re boasting too wildly!"

Continuing with a still unsettled air, Wang Lijun said, "I have heard the old master speaking of your Divine Medical Skills, which I’m still dubious about. Now seeing your bragging, I am concerned that your so-called medical skill is nothing but deceitful trickery! At such a young age, you should be learning virtuous skills, not these despicable verbal tricks!"

"Master Wang, watch your words!" Sima Ruyun hastily spoke out loud.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mr. Ouyang’s expression had begun to change, given that Chu Ge had saved him twice and the title of Divine Doctor for Chu Ge had also spread from him.

Yet, Chu Ge himself remained indifferent, his face expressionless as he continued to watch Wang Lijun.

Sima Ruyun’s reprimand indeed made Wang Lijun hesitate for a few seconds, but soon, he had already made up his mind.

The youngster before him might just be using some deceit to climb into the good graces of the Ouyang Family. If he could expose him on the spot and then demonstrate some of his own capabilities...

Would he not then become a valued guest of the Ouyang Family? Ouyang Family, Sima Family, both having connections with him, he could truly command wind and rain in Shanghai!

It must be said, immense interests can indeed make a person lose their rationality. At this moment, Wang Lijun was completely ignoring the increasingly chilly look in Chu Ge’s eyes, preparing to continue his tirade.

But just then, the door of the small room was suddenly pushed open, and an elder dressed in white walked in.

"Master Zheng!" This time Mr. Ouyang stood up.

Chu Ge saw the elder and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow because the person who had entered was none other than Zheng Lihong, whom he had met previously at Tianrui Bank!

"Hmm?" Wang Lijun frowned.

As martial artists, there is a kind of sensing between them. But Chu Ge had suppressed his aura, so unless someone was of the Innate Realm or above, he would just seem like an ordinary person.

However, Zheng Lihong was different. Both being of the Innate Realm, they instantly sensed each other’s presence, their gazes meeting in that moment.

Several seconds passed, and Wang Lijun was the first to look away, defeated.

Though both were in the Postnatal Middle Stage, Wang Lijun had only been in this stage for a few years, while Zheng Lihong had been in the Postnatal Middle Stage for over a decade, just a few steps away from a breakthrough.

"Old master, I’m really sorry, I had to arrange some things at the martial arts hall, and then add the traffic on the road, so I’m late," Zheng Lihong bowed to Mr. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang waved his hands repeatedly, "Haha, it’s no trouble at all; we were just discussing today... Let me introduce everyone, this is Master Zheng Lihong from Zhengxing Martial Arts Hall, also a high-level Postnatal Middle Stage expert, just like Master Wang."

"Not at all, not at all!" Wang Lijun repeatedly waved his hands, shaking his head, "Master Zheng has been solidified in the Postnatal Middle Stage for over a decade; I’m nowhere near comparable to such an experienced figure."

After all, both operated martial arts halls in Shanghai and were somewhat familiar; just as the two were prepared to exchange pleasantries, Mr. Ouyang happened to step aside, revealing Chu Ge standing behind him.

Zheng Lihong was momentarily taken aback, then quickly walked up to Chu Ge, hands clasped, slightly bowing, and respectfully greeted him: "So Mr. Chu is also here, my apologies for the oversight!"

"Hmm." Chu Ge looked at him indifferently and said, "You were hired by Mr. Ouyang as a bodyguard, right?"
